In general, when such questions arise, I suggest to find out when was
the related code introduced, and then search emacs-devel and
gnu-emacs-bug for relevant discussions.
In this case, the design was discussed in this long thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2002-05/msg00397.html
You will see that the heuristic in question did get some attention.
